[Travel] Drones spotted at LGW.

[SUIYHP]

So, how much money do the people of NSC think is being lost because of this whole affair?

 

[Nottseagull]

Yeah agree, but I doubt these are flying low enough for the police to get their pump actions out.

Have you not heard of these?

I'm now beginning to suspect that the reason it's not being deployed is for health and safety reasons i.e. too dangerous for the police to tackle.

Good luck with your journey HT

Cheers mate. I’m currently standing in line with lots of tired and shirty people for a flight to LHR. It’s been a testing and long day especially as the wife is flying tomorrow and we’ve had to make a back-up flight booking in case of hers being cancelled and others being booked out.

I should make St John tomorrow and my meeting with [MENTION=12187]Uter[/MENTION] tonight in Brighton is back on.

Never rule out the Russians.

I also think it's a bit OTT. If there's only one drone I'd have thought the chances of it entering an engine are about as low as a goose doing soon.

My money is on force majeure, so not as much as you would think on the airlines.

I suspect the operator will now be worrying how nice the SAS really are !

"Police have made a formal request to the MoD for military assistance to deal with the Gatwick incident .

A defence source would not go into any detail of what that support would entail."

And so a giant game of manhunt using elite special forces begins ..... I wonder if the bookies will give any odds as to who will win ?

I think long term there needs to be some kind of electronic block that will prevent drones from being operated via radio control. Currently you could effectively shut down all air travel in or out of the country with maybe two dozen well trained agents with drones.

I don't live in the Gatwick area, but if I did, then the last thing I would be worrying about tonight is whether a stray bullet comes crashing through my bedroom ceiling and blows my brains out.
I mean, really, what are the chances?

 

[casbom]

This might have been covered off already but can't the Police/Military track the radio signal that's going to the Drone and see where the source is? Is that not possible?

 

[TheJasperCo]

This is just going to be a re-run of the Raoul Moat saga. Now all we need is Gazza to turn up in North Terminal departures with a Christmas turkey and bottle of Bailey's and this typically British farce will reach its conclusion.

Gatwick activists apparently. How can the crusties afford a drone ?

Don’t be fooled ,these shithouses have more money than the Pope, all thanks to the benefits handed to them on a plate by the poor sods that had their holidays of a lifetime ruined.

Just a punt why are not 'good' drones put up into the air to follow the 'bad' ones as these can't fly forever ?

 

[Johners]

It sure has been a fun day sitting here in the North Terminal since 5.30 this morning waiting for information.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I’m on Germanwings. I hope the pilot wasn’t recruited from the nut-house like that other one.

Good luck. Hope your situation gets better.

Couldn't find the culprits in daylight and hard to see the airport opening tonight.

What are your views on mountain sides?

 

[vegster]

Can't we summon up the Crawley Quidditch team to sort this out ?

 

[banjo]

Apparently the army’s been called in to help.
